Abstract: This dissertation is a study of the work of American artist, Susan Rothenberg, a painter whose work emerged in the 1970s. The primary focus of this study is to analyze the sources and evaluate the contribution of Rothenberg's well known horse paintings of the 1970s. Connections to Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, and Performance Art are carefully considered in the first two chapters. The third chapter examines her work in the context of New Image Painting. Chapters four and five consider Rothenberg's place in relation to New Expressionism, the tradition of the painterly image in Contemporary art, and themes and technical concerns from the horse paintings to the present. In addition, the impact of Rothneberg's move to New Mexico in 1990 will be discussed. This study places Rothenberg's work in a broad Art Historical context and establishes her contribution to the paintings genre during the late twentieth century.
